WordPress 2.9 Officially Released
If you’ve visited your WordPress site’s dashboard in the past 24 hours you probably noticed that WordPress 2.9 is now available to download. I know many people like to wait to upgrade to give theme and plugin authors a chance to create updates, but the new changes in WordPress 2.9 seem to be playing nice with everything based upon all the reports I’ve read. I’ve also upgraded most of my websites that use WordPress without any theme or plugin conflicts.
